Abstract
Aruna Sivakumar will present an update of the research undertaken in the Urban Energy Systems (UES) project. The talk will focus on the development of SynCity, an integrated urban model, including the research context and the embedded modelling framework. The outputs of some preliminary analyses and case studies will also be presented; specifically, the results of an activity based travel demand model for London, analyses of the relative energy efficiencies of different urban layouts, and preliminary results of a London case study.
